Instructions
1. Use the large square pegboard for your project. If you’re using a clear pegboard,
slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place all the beads for the design.
2. Cover the completed design with the ironing paper. Keeping the iron level, gently
iron the beads in a circular motion for about 10 seconds to fuse the beads evenly.
Ironed properly, the beads will still have an open center. On a 3-D project such as
this, DO NOT OVER-IRON the beads as it will make the centers of the beads close
and can make assembly difficult.
3. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Lift your design from the
pegboard; flip the design over and repeat step #2. Your pegboard and ironing paper
are reusable.
Optional items needed to display your pirate ship with
rigging and flags: embroidery thread and a needle, a
cotton ball or cotton swabs, and glue.

Jolly Roger and Pennant
PRINT ONE
Hint: To make the pegs
easier to fit into their
slots, insert them while
the part is still slightly
warm (NOT HOT!) from
the ironing.
For extra detail, use a needle and embroidery
thread to add some rigging lines.
Fold the Jolly Roger in half, wrap it around the
rear piece of rigging, and glue in place. Glue the
pennant to the top of the mast and add some
bends to it so it looks like it’s blowing in the wind.
Lastly, use some cotton from a ball or swabs to
create cannon smoke. Very fierce—ARRHH!
